I love the Lipscomb community! The campus is located in the Green Hills area, which is about fifteen minutes away from Downtown Nashville. The campus is beautiful, and everyone is friendly.

I transferred to Lipscomb in 2022, and it took me a semester to get connected, but now that I am, it's amazing! I feel very connected with people on campus, there are a lot of cool clubs to get involved in, and the professors are kind and very knowledgeable. The food was a bit bad, but it has been better after receiving student feedback.

It's a really cosy campus, and a relatively small university. By the time you graduate, you'll know the campus super well, and get to know most of the professors & faculty members. The location is in the green hills area, which is really nice

I am a Biology major & though we have the worst building on campus, we have THE BEST professors! ALL the professors at LU I have had have made 85% of my experience. The campus is beautiful & kinda in a bubble but downtown is right around the corner. PARKING STINKS but improving. Overall, I LOVE LIPSCOMB! Haven't met a mean person here. Sad to go.

So many opportunities to have tuition paid; students, teachers, and faculty are helpful; events and activities are so much fun and helps with making new friends; the environment is peaceful and calming; the cafeteria makes GREAT food; so much school spirit; classes simply open your mind. I love it here!

You are forced to do a lot of dumb extra stuff. Some professors are good

freshman need not apply. Atleast if you are planning on living on campus. you have a curfew. you are expected to tell head residents where you are at all times. you have to sign in and out, just to go home. Its like living in a prison. I really feel stifled. and plan on transferring because this school is OUTRAGEOUS! everything is just ridiculous.
Overall 1.9
I transferred to Lipscomb University for only 2 semesters and transferred elsewhere due to its lack of support and kindness. The staff were racist towards me and the religious courses were forced upon every semester. Tuition is expensive. I had a terrible experience and all students there were uptight and cocky. No sense of belonging whatso ever.
Overall 1.9
Lipscomb is very controlling. I feel like I am in high school, not a university. no parking, cafe is closed on saturdays, everyone leaves on the weekends, curfew, 30 hours of chapel credit, math department is terrible. I could go on and on, but there is a 350 character limit.
Overall 1.9
None.

Not the university for you if you want your education to be the top priority.
